Selecting a New Administration for the 2017-2019 Term

Dear PLD Members,

The new year always brings many personal and professional resolutions, and 2017 also brings elections to our division.

PLD elections occur every two years and, earlier this year, the PLD Leadership requested volunteers to form the PLD Nominating Committee, which will handle the 2017 election process.

The following PLD members have volunteered to be the Nominating Committee:

• Barbara Mendes Carvalho
• Elena Langdon

Here’s how the nomination process works:

• In spring 2017, the Nominating Committee evaluates members of the PLD Leadership Council, and the wider Division if need be, as candidates for Administrator and Assistant Administrator.
• In summer 2017, the Nominating Committee submits the slate report with candidates’ names to ATA Headquarters. In summer 2017, Headquarters publishes the slate of candidates, sending a broadcast
  email to the division membership.

For more information on how elections take place, we strongly recommend that you read this in-depth article.
